Re: [foxboro] Interfacing IA to Allen Bradley Controlnet

Yes, we are using Allen-Bradley's new 1770-KFC15 to connect
Integrator 30's to our redundant ControLogix 5555's.

Both parties (Foxboro and A-B) said it wasn't possible at first, but
we have it working flawlessly.

We chose this path, because:
1.  We are migrating from PLC-3's to CL 5555 with FT.
2.  Invensys won't give us a FT way to communicate with CL.
3.  Very inexpensive using our existing Int30's.
